Sister Xiomara tells Julia about growing up in the Dominican Republic and becoming a fashion designer before being called to join the Adrian Dominican sisters. &#8220;They showed me poverty in my own country,&#8221; says Sister Xiomara. &#8220;When I saw these intelligent, beautiful, well educated women giving their life for people they didn&#8217;t know, it blew my mind.&#8221; Her experience with the centrality of Dominican preaching helped Sister Xiomara in her years as a chaplain. &#8220;A chaplain is a call to be a compassionate and sacred and loving presence of God&#8230;when we are visiting a person who is suffering, we are meeting the person when the person is the most vulnerable. So how can we go and preach to them with our words? By listening.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/customwordpresssites.com\/mjb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/sr-xiomara.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22083\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sr. Xiomara M\u00e9ndez Hern\u00e1ndez, OP, BCC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>ABOUT THE GUEST<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sister Xiomara (See-o-mara) M\u00e9ndez Hern\u00e1ndez, OP, BCC, an Adrian Dominican Sister, is originally from the Dominican Republic.
